Data include graduation rate, chronic absenteeism, test scores for two years, free/reduced lunch, spending, and student-teacher ratio.
Strengths at the school include a 100% graduation rate in 2025–2026, matching the district, and above-state results in American History (84.8% proficient, +11.6 points), English II (69.8%, +7.1), American Government (75.4%, +3.8), and Biology (70.6%, +3.6). The student-teacher ratio is 11.7. However, Geometry is a severe weak point: 20.8% proficient versus 43.3% state (−22.5 points). Middle-school math and ELA are also far below state: 7th Math 28.3% vs 48.6% (−20.3), 6th Math 36.6% vs 56.2% (−19.6), 7th ELA 43.3% vs 62.7% (−19.4), and 6th ELA 38.1% vs 56.0% (−17.9). Chronic absenteeism is 23.0% at the school versus 18.2% in the district.
Other key metrics: enrollment 315, free/reduced lunch 55.24% (2024–2025), spending per student $10,783 (2018–2019, dated), and the school performed above state in 4 of 13 tested areas in 2025–2026. Year-over-year, some gains occurred (6th Math +6.8, 8th Math +5.1, 8th ELA +7.5, English II +3.1), but declines in 7th Math, 7th ELA, 6th ELA, American Government, Science 8, Biology, and American History. The school’s rank softened from 3 stars to 2 stars. Highest-leverage improvement areas are middle-school foundational math/ELA, Geometry, and reducing chronic absenteeism. With a small school of 315 students across grades 6–12, figures can be affected by small cohort sizes.
